"Deebo Samuel Sr.'s future with the Washington Commanders remains a hot topic of discussion among the fan base. They are divided about whether the versatile wide receiver should be re-signed or not. Although he stated a desire to remain with the club, nothing is set in stone right now."
"This is another guy who performed admirably, but also another past-his-prime example. At age 30, [Deebo] Samuel isn't going to separate from defenders very well. He did stay relatively healthy, appearing in 16 games. And he caught 72 passes for 727 yards and five scores. But that 10.1 yards-per-reception average is just not impressive. It was the lowest of his NFL career. Samuel has clearly lost a step. And for a team looking to get faster, they don't need a mud bog at the WR2 position."
"Obviously, this comes down to money. Samuel will want to be paid. It's probably the final chance he'll have of making major money, so the wideout will be eager to maximize it. The Commanders could make him an offer, but that is also in doubt when one considers how Peters managed Terry McLaurin's contract"
Deebo Samuel's status with the Washington Commanders is unresolved as fans split on re-signing the versatile receiver. The legal tampering window is approaching, forcing a timely team decision. Samuel performed well after his trade, appearing in 16 games and catching 72 passes for 727 yards and five touchdowns, but he will command a substantial contract and is age 30. Analysts point to a reduced 10.1 yards-per-reception average, diminished separation speed, and a perceived loss of a step. Those performance and financial factors, along with roster speed needs, make a return uncertain.
